The new Nissan GT-R’s finally landed at Tokyo!
Here’s a run down of some final specifications:
- VR38VETT (3.8L Twin Turbo) dumping out 353KW (473HP, 480PS) and 588 Nm (433 lb-ft)
- 6 speed, Borg Warner six-plate dual-clutch transmission
- On sale December 6 2007 in Japan
- Brembo 6-piston brakes in front, 4-piston in rear
- Bilstein (DampTronic) suspension
- Black Edition is listed as 4WD — expected, and now confirmed.
But perhaps the most amazing thing isn’t the release of this amazing new car, perhaps it’s a little tidbit given almost as an aside over at Autoblog. They claim “Mr. Ghosn committed to Nissan fielding GT-Rs in next year’s Super GT Championship” !
The GT-R is coming back to motorsports proper, and this means the Godzilla is well and truly back in the game.
